Since when does the lore come into account? According to the lore Jax would be unbeatable if he had a real weapon... Jaximus anyone? Why can blind Lee Sin be blinded by Teemo, etc.

Incidentally, Jaximus's weapon is styrofoam and the lore actually says/said that his skill is undiminished regardless of the weapon he uses. Why does the lore come into account? Because teen Annie wouldn't just be non-canon, it would be quite specifically anti-canon. There have been Riot posts on the matter, if you care to look further.

Edit: before you go burden-of-proof on my ass, I don't give a **** if you believe me. There have been Riot posts on most of the points I made above, and if you really want them proved you can look them up yourself.

Hey guys, before we jump on the "OMG SEXUALISATION" boat, let me just say I'm a flaming homosexual and I want teen Annie to happen. I think it's a great skin concept. It doesn't need to be sexualised in the slightest.

True. I might be misremembering their reasoning... or it could be a bit of hypocrisy.

Xerath is still imprisoned, that's why he came to the league. I'm not sure we know how much of his power he actually has available.

If you'd read the rest of the thread, you would have seen the non-canon vs. anti-canon distinction.

Implying I didn't.

The Noxus Poppy one was a good example.

Another is Crimson Elite Riven - Riven hates Noxus and would never ally herself with them again - why would she be apart of their "Crimson Elite"?

As you said yourself, Jax's skills are not diminished by using a lamp post as a weapon, rendering that very thing pointless. He says in-game "imagine if I had a real weapon", further complicating the matter.
